Budweiser Budvar
České Budějovice, South Bohemian, Czechia · Est. 1895
Tally's Take
Why this matters
State-owned, Czech, and locked in a trademark war with AB InBev for over a century. Budvar's real product is the refusal to sell the name.

Budweiser Budvar Original
Year-RoundCzech Pilsner
Lagered for ninety days — roughly three times the industry norm — and brewed with Saaz and artesian water from under the brewery. The century-long trademark fight with AB InBev is the reason most of the world has never legally seen this name on a label.
